Rolling stones
Paulette asked if we have been sailing. The answer is “Yes, FINALLY!!!”
Life has been getting in the way. This summer we had some big plans to vacation on the boat….plans that we had to put on the shelf in lieu of more important matters. Billy’s dad was quite ill and over the 3 months of summer, had a cardiac procedure and a kidney procedure. In addition to this, his BP was insanely high, and we just didn’t feel comfortable being out of touch on the boat. Instead, we opted to vacation at home in case we were needed.
Then Ike hit and all of the chaos that he brought kept us busy.
This past weekend, Billy finally made it to Calypso and put her back together again after the hurricane prep from several weeks ago. Then we went sailing, and it felt so good it was insane.
The weather is cooling here finally, and the mosquitoes are dying off. Soccer is almost over, and we have no weekend commitments after that. Weekends away on the boat are up and coming and will dominate this blog.
With Galveston in complete ruin, we will obviously not be heading there for Thanksgiving. We are talking about a trailer or boat trip instead. I am going to need to pick Kathy’s brain and find out how she roasted a turkey in the trailer oven……I think I remember it being cut in half or something. The boat oven is about the same size, so…..maybe we will have cornish hens instead?
If we go in the boat, we will head south. If we go in the trailer, we may head south or west.
Wherever we head, I will be glad to be rolling, as this moss is getting me down.
woo hoo hey ho Calypso!
I am so glad she survived Ike!
Wow what an amazing trip that would be at Thanksgiving!
I cannot wait to follow the adventure, swing by and pick me uuup!
Blessings!!
So glad that the Calypso was not damaged.
Time to let the ocean wash some away life’s heaviness.
